via Culture Map Austin, TX:
Texas-based premium sandal company Hari Mari has launched a new
initiative that fits perfectly with the brand's socially conscious
ethos: providing U.S. military and first responders with flip-flops
designed specifically for prosthetic legs.
Called Freedom Flops, they're made with a removable backstrap,
allowing wearers to keep the straps in tact to fit their prosthetic
limbs.
The first batch of 50 Freedom Flops was produced and given to
amputees in Dallas-Fort Worth.
While the special sandals are not yet available for purchase, anyone
can use the website to register someone they know who could use a
pair of Freedom Flops. A Hari Mari spokeswoman says they'll be
placing a shipment soon for those who've been registered. There is no
cost to the registrant or the recipient.
